Nice upgrade

XION Supernova XON-800R14N 800 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply
XION Supernova XON-800R14N 800 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply

Pros: modular cables are a must, i like the large fan, helps keep my case just that much cooler, and its got blue LEDs. i havn't had any real problems

Cons: Not 100% modular, but i used 3 of the 4 cables so its no biggy. more cable options would of been nice, i have to have a long cable with4 connectors on it when i only need one, so that extra cable takes up un neccicary room and depending on the size of your case could restrict some airflow

Overall Review: All in all i am happy with this, i went to this 800W from a 500W, and i got this on a nice sale, 125$ with free shipping

Most Critical Review

well, its what i expected...

Need For Speed: Shift Playstation3 Game
Need For Speed: Shift Playstation3 Game

Pros: Nice graphics, nice line up of cars.

Cons: the two glitches that i have encountered are- 1. The girl with the flag at the beginning of the race is standing in the middle of your car, doesn't make any difference game play-wise, but she shouldn't be there... 2. With some muscle cars, I've had problems with the Z06 and the Viper, you have no transmission, you rev and rev but go no were. This is a huge annoyance... Another thing that amazed me was the laziness of ea, see other thoughts. I actually liked the drag races and wheelie competitions from prostreet, but they took them out of shift. Also in shift you get classified as a "precision" or "aggression" driver, but unless you go out of your way to play bumper cars, you get classified as precision.

Overall Review: really over all, its not that great, if your a die hard fan of the nfs series, than get it, if "NFS" means nothing to you, then don't waste your money, especially if you already got pro street... Many of you probably know that a few years ago ea split their nfs division in two, each takes 2 years to make a game but they stagger it so there is a new game each year, well nfs shift is made by the same half that made pro street, as you can tell by playing both games. Other than trying to rip off the gran-turismo series with its "legitimate racing" theme,i felt there was something else very familiar about shift from pro street, then i realised, the track i was racing on, was turn for turn exactly the same as a track out of the last one they did! only to cover it up they revered it. so... ea took 2 years to develop this game, took content straight out of the last game they put out, and still couldn't come up with a glitch free, satisfying game? how sad...

Xbox won't pick it up

AGPtek 320GB HDD Hard Drive External Disk Kit Console for Microsoft XBox360 XBOX 360  Highest Capacity
AGPtek 320GB HDD Hard Drive External Disk Kit Console for Microsoft XBox360 XBOX 360 Highest Capacity

Pros: My computer will at least pick it up as a 320G HDD.

Cons: Putting it in my xbox, it doesn't get detected at all. Plugging it in via transfer cable it will pick up as an external drive. Contacted customer support about what I could have done wrong and was told "please view the pictures for detail information." I'm not sure what pictures they were referring to (none were included in the email) unless they mean the pictures of the drive on newegg. In which case, how are pictures of the drive I am holding going to help me get it working?

Overall Review: Could have just returned it, but real life issues prevented me from trying to install this until it was too late for a refund. Guess I have a new external drive for my computer.

Good drive

Pros: Huge capacity and fast.

Cons: None i can think of.

Overall Review: Glad i got this thing for 90$ current prices are insane.

Great TV

Pros: Looks great, watching movies in 1080p is just amazing.

Cons: Speakers really are kinda bad, but using seperat speakers takes care of that. Doesn't double as a heater like my old tv?

Nice ring, if you can get the right size

Unisex Tungsten Carbide Ring, Polished, Comfort Fit
Unisex Tungsten Carbide Ring, Polished, Comfort Fit

Pros: Nice looking ring. Fits comfortably, albeit on the wrong finger.

Cons: Can't get the right size, ordered an 8.5 and exchanged it for an 8, both ended up being the same size. Asked him about it and he sent another ring that he measured as an 8, still the same size as the first two. I decided to get it measured myself, turns out its a 9.

Overall Review: Quick responses to emails, and quick shipping. Don't feel like messing with it anymore tho, guess i'll just hold onto it.
